Definition of Square Decimeter

A square decimeter (dm²) is a unit of area equal to the area of a square with sides measuring one decimeter in length. One decimeter is ten centimeters, so a square decimeter covers an area of one hundred square centimeters. It is often used in measurements of smaller plots of land and in various scientific fields to measure smaller areas.

Definition of Section

In the context of U.S. land measurements, a section is a unit of area that is equal to one square mile, or 640 acres. Standardized under the Public Land Survey System, sections are used in land descriptions and can be subdivided into smaller plots, such as quarter sections or quarter-quarter sections. The term 'section' represents a significant area of land and is commonly used in real estate and agriculture.
